Subject: [PATCH 3.16 059/410] KVM/x86: Remove indirect MSR op calls from
 SPEC_CTRL

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com>

commit ecb586bd29c99fb4de599dec388658e74388daad upstream.

Having a paravirt indirect call in the IBRS restore path is not a
good idea, since we are trying to protect from speculative execution
of bogus indirect branch targets.  It is also slower, so use
native_wrmsrl() on the vmentry path too.
